Just a quick note: I installed hamm base disks 2.0.5 then used apt 0.8 to do a dist-upgrade: this flagged up problems with perl and suggested apt -f install - which worked perfectly to get perl and sort out dependencies. I then used
dpkg --get-selections > myfile cat myfile | dpkg --set-selections to "clone" the setup on my other debian machine. I'm currently using apt-get dselect-upgrade to download 60M of files: IMHO apt is safe to use: I've also used autoup to upgrade this machine on previous occasions: I think 0.8 is safe and OK. I also like the way I can kill it with CTRL-C if I need to go off line then restart from where I left off. The GUI would be gorgeuous: that's going to take work and can happily wait till 2.[12].
